Dear Barry,

I can’t begin to tell you how marvelous my violin sounds after the major repair you did for me fixing a long crack in the top.  The violin has never had such a beautiful resonance even when I bought it.  There is a lovely sheen to the tone as well and it is so much easier to play with your set up.  I just feel so extremely fortunate that I found your shop and want to tell you that you are a very kind, gracious person, a perfectionist and your work superb.  The quality of your bow rehairings are equally wonderful. 

For us mere mortals trying to play these instruments you are truly a lifesaver.  I just thank you and will sing your praises to all who will listen.

Most gratefully,

Peggy Gust
